1948 8N Front Mount. I have ordered some new spark plug wires (stranded copper core), wire end clips, boots to replace my spark plug wires. Using the old wires and clips, I have been practicing cutting the insulation back, tinning the wire and the end of the clips, re-crimping and soldering the wire to the end of the clips as per owners manual and recommendation to do such by those knowledgeable of the subject.
However, I have found that soldering and re-crimping the wire ends (where they fit in the distributor), sounds a whole lot easier than it actually is. It is difficult to get it done without distorting those wire clips.
Is there a utube video that actually demonstrates the process? Is there a crimping tool that someone can recommend that does not distort the clips?
